Alderman Louis Zettler, who introduced himself as the representative off the Bushwick-Ridgewood section formerly known as the brewery district. He suggested that the Board of Estimate appeal to repeal the Volstead law. "That will open our breweries again." he said.

"and there will be no trouble about paying the extra cost of the subway." Just before former Alderman Haubert spoke Mayor Hylan said: "Just a moment. Let me remind VOu to be careful what you say. so that The Brooklyn Eagle will not have an excuse for getting it twisted. We will know what we say here todav. but we do not know what The Eagle will sav tomorrow." Other speakers in opposition were Wilfred T.

QUEENS LINES GIVE FORMAL NOTICE OF 10-CENT FARE PLAN Will Go Into Effect Monday Morning Woodside Second Fare Point. notice of intention to charge double fares for trolley rides in northern Queens between points heretofore reached for a 5-cent fare, was served upon the Transit Commission today by the New York and Queens Railroad and the receivers for the Steinway trolley properties.

under the plan proposed at 2 o'clock The extra fares will go into effect Monday morning. After that hour all persons traveling from Long Island City and Manhattan must pay an extra fare and change cars at Woodside for points east of that place, and the same change and extra fare will face those coming; to Long Island City and Manhattan by trolley from all points beyond Woodside. The New York and Queens County Railroad through its president, William 0. Wood and Arthur G. Peacock, counsel, filed with the Transit Commission today its new schedule together with application for permission to put it into effect.

A similar schedule is expected from the receivers of the Steinway properties before the day is over. Whether the Commission can stop the double fare is doubtful. Commissioner Harkness when asked about it said: "The Commission has had its legal staff studying the situation to see what power the Commission has in the matter and expects the staff will be ready to report later today when a meeting of the Commission may be called to take up the matter." The Supreme Court order which separates the Steinway properties from the New York and Queens, creates practically two separate operating compamies with separate franchises and a situation is brought about similar to that in Brooklyn where the Brooklyn City broke from the B. R. T.

In that case it Was found there was no power to enforce a joint rate or transfers. The two Queens lines will not exchange transfers, the receivers having refused to consider any plan for joint operating with the old company. Under the schedule filed with the Commission the New York and Queens proposes to operate the following lines for a 5-cent fare: College Point line, from College Point Ferry to Woodside; Flushing line, Sandford and Parsons aves. to Woodside; JamaicaFlushing line, Jamaica to Flushing and thence to Luouna Corona, within two blocks of the Alburtis ave. station of the I.

R. Corona line, from Luouna ave. through Corona, Elmhurst and Winfield to Woodside: Calvary line, from 34th st. ferry, L. I.

City, to Lutheran Cemetery. This latter will be the only New York and Queens line that will reach Long Island City, but it does not intersect. the other lines at any point so that it will not offer a connection whereby New York and Queens passengers fro many point east of Woodside may reach Long I Island City for a 5-cent fare. The receivers for a separate 5-cent fare propose to operate these lines: Ravenswood, from 34th st. ferry to 92d st.

ferry, Astoria: Dutchkills line. 59th Manhattan. via bridge to 924 st. ferry, Astoria: Steinway line, 50th Manhattan, to Riker L. I.

City: Flushing ave. line. 92d st. ferry, Astoria, to St. Michael's Cemetery: Broadway line, 92d st.

ferry to Woodside. The Queens Company stated it had sought to plan receivers of the Steinway properties for a joint operating scheme, had been refused and were compelled to operate separately. CITY CLUBWOMEN OPEN CONVENTION The 58th convention of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs was opened today in the Hotel Astor with a large attendance. One of the resolutions discussed was the suggestion that discrimination against employing women in certain branches of work be removed. The spokesman for this resolution was Mrs.

Mary A. Murray, president of the B. R. T. Women's Employment League.

So much of the time was taken up with discussion of the seven resolutions presented that several of the women complained "that too much time is devoted to which they said might be employed with "more progressive work." One of the resolutions supported provided for an enlargement of the Brooklyn Museum for Children and another was to supplement moving pictures in educational work at the public schools.

May 5-Governor Miller today defended his appointment of Deputy State Controller Edward G. Zimmer to conduct the investigation of the State Institute of Applied Agriculture at Farmingdale, L. by asserting his confidence in Mr. Zimmer's judgment and impartiality. The inquiry into the affairs of the agricultural school will be confined solely to the disposition made of Federal vocational education funds.

This is being done at the request of Col. Forbes, director of the Federal Veterans' Bureau. The criticism was that the investigation of the school last February was a "whitewash" for which Mr. Zimmer was responsible. The Governor pointed out that the Deputy Controller had nothing to do with the February investigation, although it was under the supervision of Controller James A.

Wendell. It was a routine auditing of the school's finances rather than an investigation, and was conducted by Charles P. Johnson, one of the State Controller's auditing staff. The charges which Deputy Controller Zimmer will investigate are not related in any way to the work done by Mr. Johnson, the Governor said.

(Special to The Eagle.) Farmingdale, L. May 5-Director A. A. Johnson of the State Institute of Applied Agriculture, said today on his return from a trip through the Middle West on school business that the proposed investigation of the Farmingdale school will be welcomed. "Fine and dandy!" he said when asked what thought of it.

"We welcome it. We'll jet the facts stand on their merits." Irving J. Long, publisher, of Bay Shore, a member of the school board of trustees. said that the board has 110 objection to any investigation. He told of a report made to the State last month of the Farmingdale school in which everything was declared to be all right.

There were two suggestions in it which have been carried out. Justice of the Peace Frank P. Nohowel of Bay Shore, whose resigiation from the board of trustees recently was alleged to have been due to dissatisfaction with conditions, refuses to make a statement regarding his resignation. SET $55,000 VERDICT FOR DEATH OF DHUY A jury in Justice Dike's part of the Supreme Court today awarded $55,000 10 Mrs. Delia Dhuy of 1589 Sterling pl.

for the death of her husband, Arthur Dhuy. who was connected with the Fire Department and who met death in an odd accident. Mrs. Dhuy was left with four children, two boys and two girls, aged respectively, 10, 8, 6 and 3. William S.

Butler of 188 Montague attorney for Mrs. Dhuy, showed the jury that on Oct. 10 last. Dhuy was riding on the front platform of a Sterling pl. trolley car, when at Atlantic ave.

and Cumberland st. it collided with a motor truck of the American Railway Express which had turned from the opposite car track and crossed the path of the trolley on which Dhuy was, for the purpose of entering the express company's big garage at that locality. The car collided with the truck so violently that the front left stanchion was snapped off. It struck Dhuy on the head and killed him almost instantly. Lawyer Butler directed the action against the American Railway Express Co.

and the Nassau Electric Railway Co. and each of these concerns in their respective defenses blamed it on the other. Witnesses called por the railroad company, ineluding the motorman. insisted that the express truck the trolley's path at such a short distance that it was impossible for the motorman to avoid the accident; witnesses for the express company said the truck turned white there was ample time for the trolley to stop, but that it was going at a high rate of speed in disregard of the railroad company's own slow signs at either side of the garage. Although the jurors had been instructed to lay aside all sympathy and think only about the evidence.

Mr. Butler moved several of them to tears when he told in his summing the evidence how the carelessness one of O1 two men had left Mrs. Dhuv a widow had orphaned her four little children. The jury in its verdict assessed all the damages against the express company. exonerating the railroad companv from blame.

The express company's attorney asked that the verdiet be set aside. Mr. Butler opposed. saying the jury had decided the sharn conflict of facts presented by both defendants, and Justice Dike denied the motion. Mr.

Butler also asked that the part of the verdict exonerating the railroad be set aside. as he contended both were guilty of negligence, and that. too. was denied. This is the largest death verdict under simi1ar circumstances handed down here in years.

I was first arraigned before Magistrate Fish, who is a trifle over five feet in height. The contrast was striking. With Auger was his mother, a small woman, who was very careful to warn George to stoop when going through the door. George pleaded not guilty and was taken before Magistrate McCloskey. "How long have you been driving a car?" said the magistrate.

"Fifteen years, your honor, ever since I was six feet tall." "How tall are You now?" "Eight feet and four came the reply, as the man rose from his seat. The magistrate looked anxious1y at the ceiling but to his relief the head stopped on its ascent before the crash came. "How is it that your legs and knees don't obstruct your vision when driving?" he was asked. "The seat of my car is high and the wheel extra long." he replied. Magistrate McCloskey warned the giant to keep out of the court and suspended sentence.

Work was stopped until Auger passed safely through the door and drove off with his little mother. He lives at 164 Manhattan lave. DEMPSEY SAYS HE'LL FIGHT CARPENTIER AGAIN IN THE FALL (By The Associated Press.) Paris, May 5- Jack Dempsey told the Associated Press today it was alcertain he would meet Georges Carpentier again. in London or Paris, late this year, if Carpentier defeats Ted Lewis in London May 11, and provided the purse is satisfactory. The posting of forfeits and other details, Dempsey added, are being discussed in London by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, and Francois Descamps, manager of Carpentier.

Definite arrangements, however, are awaiting the outcome of the LewisCarpentier fight. Dempsey asserted it was immaterial to him whether he met Willard before or after his second go with the French champion. "I am also ready to meet Wills or any one else provided they mean business," said Dempsey. "I hope something definite will come out of all these offers. All I want is a few months' training.

I've seen Europe and had a fine rest and am now anxious to get back to work. should like to stay in Europe a little longer but I must return and fulfill a theatrical cal engagement in the West and a motion picture contract in New York. I cannot afford to default on either of these. I shall leave Paris for London Tuesday and shall probably sail for New York May 13." The champion said he had not actually signed a contract for a fight at Michigan City, under the auspices of the American Legion, but declared he would always be glad to do anything he could for the Legion op for his old friend, Floyd Fitzsimmons. who was trying to promote boxing in his arena at Michigan City.

Dempsey characterized as pure nonsense the reports linking his name with an actress who has been much in the public eye of late. He also denied recent reports that he was going to "All marry a reports French about girl. hat that." he said. "are pure bunk. As I have already told you, my heart is in America where it is held tightly by an American girl.

I'm afraid my girl in America will be jealous if she reads all these yarns about my going around with French girls, and will make me do some tall explaining when I get home."
